Contributor Donald Davidson's copy of the First Edition, with his pencil signature 'Davidson' on the front flyleaf, pencil notes on the rear flyleaf, and corresponding lines in the margins. Frontispiece, xvi, 1,088 pp. Original cloth. Very Good, without dust jacket. Davidson's essay is 'The Method of Extension and Intension' (311-349). The notes on the rear flyleaf are 'Reductionist fallacy 551/Formal semantics for natural/language? Beth, p. 482, 492/Martin/Strawson, 506/Bar-Hillel, 520.' Davidson put pencil lines in the margins of those pages, and some others. The note 'Formal semantics for natural language' is interesting, as Davidson would go on to co-edit a volume entitled Semantics of Natural Language in 1972. 'An important influence on Davidson during the years at Stanford was his interactions with Carnap at UCLA. McKinsey had agreed to write an article on Carnap's semantics for the Library of Living Philosophers volume on Carnap. He asked Don to join him. After McKinsey's death, Don took it over and subsequently discussed the work extensively with Carnap' (Patrick Suppes, Biographical Memoirs, Procs. of the Amer. Philos. Soc., Vol. 150, No. 2, June 2006, pp. 353-9). …
